    Hairrrr!
    Angelena G.

    Lauren is incredibly talented. She's been caring for my hair since 2022. I came to her chair bleached and broken. My hair was thinned out from all the breakage and felt like straw. She coached me through it all, how to care for it at home, put me on the right products, and came up with a trim et al schedule so I could get it back on track. Over the last year, the results of her guidance have been at warp speed. These locks are looong, shiny, healthy, and full. And I have the best bangs, omg! The salon itself is tucked away in a small center very close to the beach. It's always good energy and everyone is friendly. It's very clean, there someone tidying up all the time. And there's a little fashion section to peruse, casual sort of western or lite country girl clothes and accessories. There was a cowboy hat I was eyeing, so cute. Parking is plentiful and partly shaded as well.

    My wefts are showing and my K tips are showing when I put it in a low ponytail

    Please be sure to do your research before getting your hair done here. I paid over $1500 dollars for hair extensions with Chloie. I let her know I was interested in weft extensions but I wasn't familiar with them I've tried every other method and for the past few years I've been using Slavic ktips. She claimed that I would be a good fit for them and we can do a ktip on the sides and vtips for the top of my head since I had fine hair. I mentioned to her that two important things was that I wanted my hair to look natural and I wanted to wear my hair in a ponytail By the time she was done the color of the wefts was slightly off and the hair felt very thick and blunt. On the way home a few v lights fell out and by day 3 they were gone I let her know but instead of offering me a refund she said she wouldn't charge me the next time which I wasn't too happy about but I gave the benefit of the doubt. She charged me 150 for that while also saying she had only did it one other time. A few days later I let her know the color was off ( I went in for a consult prior to her buying the day btw) she asked me to come in, which I did. I also let her know my other concerns about the Wefts showing even in a little ponytail . She let me know she can install invisible wefts but didn't offer the first time around I told her we can try it but a few days later I just see that the hair texture which she did not tell me was straight at the time of the consult- it does not match my hair at all. It looks like my hair is sitting on top of extensions. I let her know of all my concerns. My tips are bulky I did provide them and so she's blaming that instead of admitting to an improper installation. after letting her know all of my concerns she offered to do invisible Wefts and I'm trying to make her understand that wouldn't make a difference. The texture is way off. She seems to be blaming me instead of taking accountability that I wasn't a good fit for this in the first place. I did ask for a refund and only asked her if I can get a partial refund of $500 because I do understand it took a lot of work. She only offered me 150 which I think is very insulting. She is standing by her offering to try to fix this with the same method, (wefts) but I'm clearly not a good fit for and you can clearly see the texture difference is obvious. I also let her know when she told me the price I never complained I let her know I understand extensions are a luxury but in this case her Work does not justify what she is charging it's been 2 weeks since the install and has been a complete headache. Not only am I out over $1500. She also is keeping the hair that I purchased. Please be careful.

    Adding a photo of my most recent color. Touched up my regrowth and lightened everything up with a partial weave. Then added a peach color. Perfection as always!

    I came to CHLOE crying for help a year ago, I had gone to previous stylist for extensions (wefts) and it went completely wrong. I came to Chloe with head sores all around my head, bald spots, and extensions that didn't match and too many grams on my hair. I was traumatized to get my hair done again and spend more money on another set of extensions. Chloe made me feel at ease and her prices were reasonable. I'm so GLAD I found her, she has done an amazing job with my hair not only does it look perfect but it's gotten healthier, it's growing and it feels light and comfortable! Specially for the fine hair girlies like me I been going to her ever since and will continue to do my hair with her. I recommend her and she will always be honest on what you need and dont need.

    Kae always kills it with my nails. I absolutely love her vibe and her ability to literally do anything I want on my nails!

    Got my nails done with Kae and I absolutely love them! She did a gel x set with super cute and intricate designs!! I usually get really overwhelmed in nail salons, so it was super relaxing an easy with Kae

    After: ...into this! Xena's magic touch was a complete transformation. I feel beautiful, & my hair has never been softer.

She also didn't over shape them, they really enhanced my face without looking too "done". In the past I have been hesitant to have my brows waxed because my skin is extremely sensitive, it's usually left red and I get those little irritation bumps. Not with Sabrina! Her wax was so gentle and I surprisingly didn't have any redness after or irritation the following days. Definitely can't wait for my next service!

If you're more sensitive, ask if they have a numbing agent and pop some Motrin ample time before your appointment. My tech, Kiley was outstanding. Personable, professional and took care of the area well. I will definitely go back to her when I make another appointment.

I used to frequent this hotel a lot for their amazing restaurant- Watertable (that's a whole other review) Calling to book the appointment was very easy. I had to put a credit card down (like most spas) my treatment was at 1:15 and the woman on the phone told me I could get there as early as 9 AM to use all the amenities (pool, sauna and etc) When I arrived, Vincent, was working valet and helped me out. He showed me exactly how to get to the spa. (You get free valet parking with your spa service) I will say, the spa is pretty far from the main hotel lobby entrance. It does have nice views and the place is spotless. It is easy to find though. They have tons of signs pointing you into the direction of the spa. Once you get to the spa it's tucked away in gorgeous greenery with a little bridge that takes you over a little koi fish pond When I got to the spa, the girl at the desk was amazing (I wish I got the names of everyone) she checked me in, she asked if I had any allergies, asked if I had any health issues they needed to be aware of and etc. She was on point. She then asked if it was my first time there (it was my first time) so then she immediately paged another staff member to show me around. She gave me the whole walk through, showed me how to use the lockers and everything. She was great as well I did use the sauna before and after my 50 minute massage which included hot stones They had a lovely water station with your typical spa water. They also had a big bucket of ice (which I love having ice. The colder my drink, the better) They also had a tea station. They had honey, cinnamon sticks and other things at the tea station available. Yet you have to go to the desk to ask for the tea bags When I got to the waiting room (relaxation room where you wait to be called for your treatment) they had a lovely set up. Really nice comfortable couches, they had chairs right by the fireplace, they had fruit, they had some baked goods and then I saw the menu for food you can order and they had drinks you could order (food and drinks were for a price. But the little baked goods were free) they had a banana bread and these delicious bars with jam. They also had a variety of nuts, trail mix and etc with little cups you could put them in I had the pleasure of getting Brittney. She was absolutely great. She took me to the treatment room and gave me a minute to get undressed and situated on the table. She asked if the table was warm enough for me. She was great at asking if I wanted light or medium. I told her just to wing it. I did have a LOT of knots in my back on the right side. So she went for it lol. The pressure was at times a little too hard for my taste. But if it makes me feel better in the long run, I don't mind. Plus, I could have told her to lighten up at any time. I really did not want this to end. I felt great afterwards. They had very clean showers They had everything from mouth wash, spray deodorant, hair dryers to use and everything else you'd find at your nice spas. They have a cute little shop where you check in / check out. They had a good amount of different beauty products, jewelry, clothing and other things you'd find at a place like this. The girl who checked me out was great (again, I wish I got the names of everyone) I would 100 percent come back. I'd love to have a girls day here with friends or try one of their facials next time I would have loved to take more photos of the spa, but please remember cell phone use is not for spas. Especially since smart phones have cameras on them and guests are walking around in bathing suits / just towels and changing. So be respectful of that

I normally take a bottle of tea tree soothing lotion and slater it on in the car after Sugaring. I'm out of habit and forgot today so I was worried how my drive home was going to be. I worried for nothing, Brandy even did the deep breath in strong exhale moments for the tough spots without me even saying anything or asking for those pauses pre-lift. Her sugar was buttery soft and warm and she knew the right moment to change her ball. Ugh I can't stand when someone keeps trying to use a sugar ball turned cold and hard on me, that don't feel good mam, stop it!!! Not only was she clearly intuned she was thorough, she got her inspector gadget magnifying light and tweezed the rebellious kids right out. Lastly, I forgot to ask her what it was but she rub something on my skin and it simmered down so well that I didn't need to apply anything when I got home!!! Normally you have to pay for any kind of soothing cream for after care but Brandy obviously gets that it should be part of the service Plus what better way to guarantee return customer than making sure they have as comfortable of an experience as possible!
